please correct me if I make any mistakes:

from what I seen you will always get responces like

1. He is giving our generation a chance to repent and receive His salvation.

2. He is testing the strength of our faith and commitment.

3. He is giving the church opportunity to evangelize the lost.

4. His delay encourages us to work faithfully, as though death is yet in the future, but to be ready for His coming at any time.

but seriously does that seem like its ever gonna happen from my perspective humanity is going in the oppoisite direction...so is there another reason why
Jesus delays his return? We know from the bible that when he does the second time it will be the end of the world in revelelation.we know this because atJesus' crucifixion, He told his His disciples with these well-known words, "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14: 2, 3 and its said in revelation (2 lazy to post the quotes)

Christ assured His followers that His desire for them is that they may join Him in His heavenly kingdom. Christians wait for Christ's second coming

Revelation 22:20

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Jesus is late because he needed dragons to beat Satan but he was out and had to order some more. Blame UPS, those slowpokes can't deliver a dragon to save their lives! >=(

He was going to, but He started following links on Wikipedia and keeps finding really interesting articles, especially about the Star Wars universe, which He loves.. As soon as He gets bored, though, He'll BRB

Dammit. I had to Wikipedia that word to figure out its meaning, and now due to having to click every link in sight, I now know what branch of Protestant I most likely am going to be. You ruined the mystery. :(

He's probably still trying to beat Street Fighter II Turbo on 7 stars. Other than that...he's dead as a doornail, and his existence on Earth is questionable. I'd put my money on Elvis coming back before Jesus does.

Probably because he was a big fat liar back in the day and people just moved him out of his grave for the hell of it. Either that or he doesn't exist. :D That's only my opinon though, I don't want to offend others but I have better things to do then let things like religion and jesus get in my way.

He said that it will be as bad as the days of Noah, so I guess he is waiting until it gets to how that was, which is hard to define.

ive thought about this for a long time. ive narrowed it down to a few possibilities...

hes a chronic procrastinator.

adult ADD makes him easily distracted.

he doesnt feel like it.

hes waiting for suffering to get so retro that its cool again.

his dog ate it.

Indeed. It should also be noted that unless people stop having babies, you can't preach the gospel to everyone. Infants can't understand the Bible.

The world may not be pleasant, but it is not all bad. All we ever hear about is negativity, frankly it sales newspaper and get people to tune in, while positive news does not have the same effect.

It will happen when it is suppossed to happen.
